A new imaging product caught my eye this week. It is called Matterport– a 3D Imaging System intended for interior spaces.

What it does: Take Images with Depth Measurement of the interior of a structure (such as a home for sale) and spins a walkabout 3D model of the home and its contents. It can also create a floor plan.

This concept is interesting to me because I had dreams of this very concept during my senior year as an electrical engineering student 17 years ago.  I of course had dreams of it looking like the Jedi training ball from the original Star Wars Movie.

Good job Matterport, I’m impressed.
